We would definitely recommend Jake and the team from Vitality Plumbing, we have had them do the plumbing works for our current house extension and will be having them back in the near future for our main bathroom too.  Jake is friendly, chill and reliable - and left the area clean and tidy! Jake was even happy to check out another issue at the house while he was here. Solid job - thanks Jake!

I’ve done a lot of renovations over the last 12 years and have found Jake to be a quality tradie. He reliably turns up when he says he is going to. He provides sound and honest advice and has been extremely fair when it comes to his bills. 5 stars from me

When we had a blocked sewer drain on our work site, there were other trades also working that were relying on the drain to be cleared. I rang a few plumbers to fix the issue urgently but Jake was here within the hour. Got straight to work, was cleared in less than 30 mins. That definitely was the best trade service I’ve ever experienced. Jake knows his job really well, is a nice guy to deal with and very prompt. Ring him if need a plumber, you won’t be disappointed.

Prompt service, Jake was very professional and explained clearly what could be done to solve my issue: a gas stop valve needing to be repositioned to allow installation of new oven. Jake had the parts needed and a very satisfactory job completed.

What Stormwater Drain Maintenance Involves

Vilatlity Plumbing’s stormwater drain maintenance is all about taking regular, preventative steps to keep rainwater flowing freely from your roof and hard surfaces into the public drainage system. By staying on top of maintenance, you can reduce the risk of blockages, flooding, property damage, and pollution entering local waterways.

  • Cleaning gutters and downpipes: Removing leaves, twigs, dirt, and other debris from gutters and downpipes helps stop material from washing into underground pipes and causing blockages
  • Clearing grates and surface drains: Surface pits and grates should be kept free from paper, stones, leaves and sediment. This can be done using basic tools, such as brooms, or with high-pressure cleaning equipment for more stubborn debris
  • High-pressure water jetting: Specialised high-pressure jetting equipment is used to flush out built-up silt, dirt and obstructions inside stormwater pipes, restoring proper flow
  • Tree root removal and pipe care: Tree roots often invade older or cracked pipes in search of water. Licensed plumbers can remove roots using specialised tools, including robotic cutting equipment, to prevent further damage
  • CCTV drain inspections: Drain cameras allow professionals to inspect the inside of pipes and identify cracks, collapsed sections, leaks or hidden blockages without the need for excavation
  • Pipe relining or replacement: If pipes are damaged or deteriorating, they can often be relined internally without digging. In more severe cases, full pipe replacement may be required
  • Structural system maintenance: This includes maintaining On-Site Detention (OSD) systems, cleaning Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) that capture rubbish, and removing sediment from basins to ensure the entire system operates effectively

Responsibilities and Safety

Property owners are responsible for maintaining all stormwater infrastructure within their property boundary, including gutters, downpipes, pits and connecting lines. Local councils or water authorities manage the larger public drainage network in the street.

Vitality Plumbing recommends that maintenance be carried out at least twice a year, ideally before the wet or storm season. It’s also important to never pour chemicals, oil, paint or household waste into stormwater drains, as these systems discharge directly into natural waterways.

When we carry out maintenance, Vitality Plumbing always use appropriate safety equipment and stable ladders, which is why you should always use licensed professionals like ourselves for such complex and potentially hazardous tasks, especially on large commercial properties.

Common Stormwater Problems

  • Overflows caused by blockages or heavy rainfall
  • Tree root intrusion in ageing or cracked pipes
  • Sediment build-up that reduces pipe capacity over time

 

Routine maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your stormwater system working efficiently year-round. This is even more crucial for public and commercial areas.
